Finally made it!

[n3480h]

Took nearly 66 years, but I finally made it to retirement today. My employer threw a party, complete with a 3 foot cake that included pics of my golden retrievers. Good to be appreciated, but its time to start the new chapter. There will be no slowing down. I have two aircraft to finish, a hangar to finish, triplet grandchildren due in April, dog bellies to rub, and machined parts to run. I don't think it can get any better.

Congratulations ! 20 more years for me....even then, I know I'll never really retire in the true sense of the word.

Congratulations, Tom! Hope your retirement proves to be everything you thought it would!

Ha! The bakery has an artist on staff for sure. It's my understanding that the photo was printed on white frosting with a modified ink jet, using food coloring instead of ink. I saved the piece with the dogs printed on it and gave it to my very pleased 5 yr old granddaughter. Her smile was the frosting on my day. )
